Cricket Wireless Select Unlimited Plan Details
Plan Features
LTE on AT&T's network. Unlimited data with no disclosed high-speed cap (speeds may slow during congestion). International texting included; calling is not. No hotspot. Taxes are included in the $40 price. Multi-line pricing: 2 lines $65/mo, 3 lines $90/mo, 4 lines $100/mo, 5 lines $120/mo total.
Data, Minutes & Messages
Unlimited calls and texts domestically. International texts included to supported destinations. Data is listed as unlimited with no published GB threshold before throttling - Cricket's policy says speeds may slow during congestion, which is standard deprioritization language. Video streams at 480p (standard definition) regardless of data remaining.
Plan Speed
Full LTE speeds in normal conditions. During tower congestion, Cricket is deprioritized behind AT&T's postpaid subscribers - meaning real-world speeds in busy areas and commute hours can drop noticeably. No specific throttle speed is published. Video is capped at 480p - standard definition - regardless of network conditions.
Contract Details
Month-to-month, no contract. Activate online to avoid the $25 store activation fee. AutoPay of $5/line applies to single-line pricing only - the advertised $40 already reflects that. Multi-line rates are flat group pricing and do not require per-line AutoPay.
Overage Charges
No hard data cap and no overage charges. Unlimited is genuinely unlimited in volume, with the caveat that speeds may slow during congestion on busy towers. No extra fees are triggered by heavy use.
Mobile Hotspot
No mobile hotspot is included on the Select Unlimited. The Smart Unlimited tier at $50/mo adds 15 GB of hotspot. If tethering a laptop or tablet is ever needed, this plan doesn't cover it.

The verdict, & two little voices
Should you actually get Select Unlimited for 2 lines?
The editor weighs in — flanked by the optimist on her shoulder and the cynic on the other.
“$40 with taxes already in and AT&T's towers: no surprises on the bill, solid coverage.”
“No hotspot, 480p video, and deprioritized behind every AT&T postpaid customer when things get busy.”
